The proprietors of Lefty O’Doul’s Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge in San Francisco had offered $200, two drinks and two meals “no questions asked” to the person who returned the motorized scooter stolen Sunday after the San Francisco Giants right fielder had left it unlocked outside an Embarcadero restaurant.

The Giant scooter saga became a Twitter sensation after Pence tweeted about its theft.

John Fair, the manager of Lefty’s, said a man called shortly after the reward was offered and said his friends had taken the two-wheeler and that he had badgered them into returning it. Sure enough, the beloved scooter was returned to the Giants’ clubhouse Wednesday after someone brought it to the San Francisco Police Department.

A man with a goatee wearing a black hat and work boots strode into Lefty’s on Thursday afternoon, introduced himself to Fair as “the guy who had called” and collected the reward.

“I was asking him where did he return it, and he’s like, well, my friends returned it, and I asked him where and he said, ‘I’m not going to get involved in that,’ but he did say it was at the ballpark,” Fair said, admitting that there is no proof that the man’s story is true. “We had said no questions would be asked and I could see he was uncomfortable, so I backed off.”

Fair said he handed the self-described Good Samaritan an envelope with two $100 bills, two drink tickets and two meal tickets.

“He said ‘thank you,’ we shook hands and he took off,” Fair said, possibly bringing to a close the case of the celebrity ballplayer scooter caper.
